thatā€™s the fight to make only because mas punched him in his face. mas is the easiest reasonable title defense possible for leon. i bet heā€™s so happy usmanā€™s hand is fucked.

Why does this joke organisation keep giving Masdival title shots even though heā€™s dropped 3 fights in a row and hasnā€™t won a fight in years?

I saw this but didnā€™t make a thread because the claim seems dubious. Wonderboy casually mentioned it in an interview but thereā€™s no confirmation

Crazy to think Ankalaev has no UFC title and perhaps not even a UFC title fight coming after the Glover HIll fight is done and Masvidal could walk in and get his 3rd UFC title shot after he just went 0-3 in the UFC.

What does it take to get a title shot these daysā€¦ assault a fighter that beat you on the street, go 0-3 and boom, title shot.

4/6 of Masvidalā€™s most recent wins in MMA are now over retired fighters. The other two wins are over Diaz and Till who are 3-7 in their last combined 10 fights in the UFC and only one of them is still in the UFC.

The majority of fighters Masvidal beat in MMA have been retired for a while and he is gonna get a title shot after going 0-3. That would be laughable.

At this rate they might as well create a division for Hasbulla.

When is the last time Masvidal won a fight?

Was it the BMF belt? In 2019?

Nov. 2019 via doctor stoppage

Diaz in 2019. Beat Askren and Till that same year and those are two of the better wins in his career.

Another thing about 0-3 Masvidal getting a title shot at WW right now, that would be even funnier because 8-0 Beneil Dariush is not getting the next LW title shot.

I hope Leon doesnā€™t give Greasy Jorge the time of dayā€¦ I hope he does it for the childrenā€¦

George didnā€™t deserve the rematch against Usman. He definitely doesnā€™t deserve to fight Leon. Fuck that.

This really shouldnā€™t be surprising though. Him and Edwards have a history. And for whatever reason Masvidal is a big name now so it could be a big fight

Itā€™s not, just seems rather convenient and despite the history between the two, just laughable given Masvidal has lost 3 straight, with 2 being title shots already. His name should not even be in the discussion with guys like Belal or Chimaev available. Chimaev has history there too if thatā€™s the way they want to goā€¦but would he make weight?

Darius vs Edwards for the title excites about 12 people ā€¦ thatā€™s why

The sport and promotion has to have credibility though

Honestly no one (in the States) really cares about Leon Edwards but he gave us one of the most shocking knockouts of the year and it was beautiful

Except the fact nobody is talking about Dariush vs Edwards beyond you because you seem to not understand who fights in what weight class.
